Chapter 10 The Good, The Bad, and The Dead

In the backyard…

Chaos paced around back and forth, unsure about what do. He was very confused and to some degree frightened. He never felt this way before, Ylsa to him was always sis, but for some reason Void isn't. "What's wrong with me??" he thought to himself. He shook his head in disbelief he always believed that he was in control. Then he decided to let it sit for a while, and charged up one of his favorite types of magic spell, a energy field with almost every color formed in his claw, he began to do things with it…

"CHAOS!!" Someone called out…Chaos sighed he knew by the voice it was Sakura.

"I'm in here…what's up, Sakura…didn't know you were back or…" Chaos begun

"No time to explain, Void said there was something very urgent and she need your immediate assistance…" Sakura said without stopping.

"Wow…when did you become so professional, Sakura?" Chaos said jokily.

"AUGH!!" Sakura said pissed off. "This is no time for jokes!!"

"I know, lets teleport there…" he said as he finished up the spell…

In the kitchen…

Everyone was talking about what to do…suddenly Sakura and Chaos appeared right in front of all of them…

"One would think you would of at least given me a warning or something." Sakura protested, as she shook her head a few times to clear it.

"Sorry, I thought you said it was urgent…" Chaos said chuckling.

Sakura glared at Chaos causing him to shut up right there on the spot.

"Okay, I think we should first assign roles to everyone…" Void said "Without a good structure we won't be able to hold them off very long. I think we should assign Li and Sakura as the group leaders."

Both Li and Sakura jumped at this. "Wait" They both protested at once.

"I don't have leadership quality in me…" Sakura complained.

"Neither do I!" Li continued.

"Don't worry…" Chaos spoke up. "You guys have leadership blood in you two, you just haven't trained it. Void will help you in that department…she going to be your advisor."

"Chaos is very good at strategies and stuff. We can assign him as a tactical officer." Void suggested.

"Okay, we have the basics I guess…" Sakura said. "Now what?"

"Well…first we have to fend the enemies off." Void said in a serious tone. "Then we can figure out what to do next later. That includes how were going to enhance the illusion field, I fear it is wearing off."

"Okay, we'll do that, but we are outnumbered more than 2 to 1…" Li said.

"Why don't you ask Chaos? He might have a plan." Void said smiling.

"Do you?" Sakura asked.

"Well, kind of, but it all depends on if you guys are willing to make the sacrifice." Chaos said closing his eyes.

"Let's hear it first." Sakura said.

"Is it okay that use this house as a trap?" Chaos said. "I could teleport all the goods to our next base."

"WHAT?" Sakura said. "Your going to trash this place?"

"We don't have a choice…" Chaos said. "They already know our location…"

"Okay okay…" Sakura said. "But where can we put our next base up?"

"My house is available…" Li suggested…

"Good…" Chaos said. "I get the thing teleported…Li?"

"Yes?" Li asked.

Chaos whispered something in his ear. Li nodded and went off.

"Void, Sakura…" Chaos commanded.

The two ladies went to Chaos, he also whispered something in they're ears, with that they went off too.

"Yue, Touya…" Chaos whispered something else in they're ears, they went off too. Then he proceeded on teleporting everything away.

* * *

About four streets outside the house…

The enemy charged forward, until they saw Li standing in front of them holding his sword in one hand, and a Fu on the other. They laughed at him since there was no way a single guy could beat all twenty of them.

"I am Li…and you guys don't want to get hurt I suggest you get out of here immediately." He yelled bravely not conceding one bit.

They laughed again. One of the leaders stepped out and said "Okay, I'll humor you a little…" with that he charged.

Li prepared himself, he blocked off the series of deadly attacks the enemy was throwing. For some odd reason though he wasn't counterattacking at all. He was just defending, after a few rounds…he retreated.

The enemies laughed at him, the leader laughed to "Come on lets get this over with…" the leader said. Chasing Li…

After they arrived at the crosswalk, they heard footsteps approaching, they turned around quickly, on the right was Chaos and on the left was Void…the enemies drew to they're fighting stances…Chaos threw a few shots at them so did Void…but all of them completely missed. After the spells resided Void and Chaos was nowhere in sight.

"HAHAHAHAHA…" The enemy leader laughed. "Fujitaka told me to be careful, we were supposedly up against fierce warriors, but it looks to me he was wrong…lets attack!!"

So the enemy chased them in to the house…to they're amazement it was empty.

Suddenly, they heard a voice… "Fiery! Windy! Thunder! Release and trap my enemy in walls of fire!!"

The enemies finally realized they're mistake but it was too late…the whole house was on fire…with them in it, suddenly a fire dragon came out amidst and attacked them killing off two pawns with a simple swipe of his claw. They scrabbled to the exit, but they were surprised to see Void there waiting there, who eliminated three more pawns.

The enemies ran to the back door, unfortunately running into Kero. Kero threw a ball a fire at them toasting few more. After that the leader managed to escape with no one left in his small "army".

The whole team meet at Li's house afterward, except Tomoyo and Eriol…

"OH NO!!" Sakura cried. "We forgot about them they didn't know about our switch…"

"Don't worry…" Chaos said chuckling.

"How can you be soo calm?" Li said practically yelling. "Our friends could be in danger!!"

"I got it covered." Chaos said grinning. "I already sent Touya to tell them our sudden change of plans."

Everyone gasped except Void, who knew about her "brother's" talents long ago.

"Incredible…" Sakura whispered. "You even accounted for that in your plans."

Chaos smiled modestly (author: wonder how you do that?? Chaos: SHUT UP!! Author: Sorry!!)

"Um er…guys want to come in and make yourselves at home? We can assign rooms and stuff I guess…"

"Yes all mighty Chinese leader…" Touya said sarcastically.

"BROTHER!!" Sakura yelled.

"Huh?" Touya replied stupidly. "I'm not really your brother, remember?"

"To me, you'll always be my brother…" Sakura said softly.

Always so kind…Touya thought to himself, no wonder I loved her as my own sister from the start. "Okay, I guess we should try to get things straightened up before they find us again."

"So, I guess since Li and Sakura are the leaders they get to assign the rooms…" Yue said quietly.

"Yea, I agree…" Void said. "So, Li, Sakura…how are you going to assign the rooms?"

"Uh…I think a draw will be the fairest…don't you guys?" Li said.

"I think so too…" Sakura said.

Void eyed Chaos, giving him a "GREAT" look. Chaos wrote something with a spell which only Void could understand. Void smiled at it, charging her claw with energy…

Li and Sakura put everyone's name in a hat, yes even Tomoyo and Eriol's name, and gave it a great shake.

"Okay, match off as I call your names…" Li said.

Void secretly released her spell…

"Chaos…" Li said.

"Your with…" Sakura took a name. "Void…"

Chaos almost choked on hearing this, he didn't expect it, what have you done…sis he thought to himself. Sure he was glad to be with his sis, but he had some things to straighten up before that.

Void wrote something that only Chaos could understand. "It's heavens will." It said. Void smiled at Chaos.

"Yue, your with Touya…" Li said.

"Sakura…" Li said.

"I'm with…" Sakura said while drawing a name… "LI!!" she yelped. What were the chances of THAT happening? She thought to herself turning a nice shade of red.

"Tomoyo with Eriol. And I guess the plush toy is with us…" Li said finishing it up.

"Hmm…I dunno about you, Li…" Sakura whispered. "I think someone set this up…don't you think its too much of a coincidence?"

"Hhuuhh?" Li said suddenly, he was too focused on thinking about living with Sakura in the same room.

"Uh yea…" he answered stupidly again. "But we don't have any prove of that do we." He whispered back.

Sakura frowned. "Not really…" She whispered back.

Tomoyo and Eriol side…

"The Grassrunner clan is by far the most varied clan this side of the universe…" Eriol started. "From dog-clans man to rabbit clansman, from rabbit to wolf, from wolf to fox…"

"Which type am I?" Tomoyo asked curiously, uncharacteristically twitching her ears.

"I'm not too sure…" Eriol said. "its also because they are too varied it is hard to find them and awaken they're talents. We were lucky since yours awaken when you protect Sakura…"

"Oh…" Tomoyo said kind of disappointed, she was hoping to learn a little more about herself.

"Don't worry…" Eriol said in a comforting voice. "I'm sure we'll help you find your roots somewhere." He smiled warmly.

"Thanks." Tomoyo said plainly.

"TOMOYO!!" A voice called in distance. "ERIOL!!"

They turned to see Touya flying they're way…he approached them gasping for air.

"What's up, Touya?" Eriol said.

Touya explained to them the sudden siege and Chaos' plan that sent the opponent crying for help, and about the burning of Sakura's house…

"Wow…" Eriol exclaimed. "That joker of a dragon actually has some skills, I would never hand known…"

"ERIOL!" Tomoyo said jokily. "That was mean!"

"I'm serious." Eriol pointed out. "I mean did you see that much potential hiding in THAT dragon?"

"I did…the first time I saw him." Tomoyo said smiling.

"AUGH!!" Eriol sigh out in disgust. "One trait a grassrunner seem to always have is a keen observation skill."

Tomoyo chuckled. "Aww…too bad. Looks like I finally beat you at something." She said jokily.

Touya coughed. "Are we going stay here forever, or are we going to move it?"

Tomoyo and Eriol sweated. "We're coming, we're coming." They said together.

With that the group left the park without further ado, heading to Li's house.

Place unknown…

"HE DID WHAT!?!?!" An angered voice yelled.

"Yes, my master, he betrayed us and went to serve the enemy." A creature whimpered.

"GRR…DID HE FORGET?? BRING ME THE ORB!!" The voice ordered.

"Aye, master." Another creature squeaked quietly.

The creature dashed across the room, opening up a small glass case, and carefully taking out a colorful orb, carefully it brought the 'thing' to it's master's hand.

A hand came out the darkness, and took the orb…the hand gripped it tightly…the orb shattered in pieces.

"A FAKE." The voice said angrily. "I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT CHAOS…BUT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT HER FOREVER. I WILL GET WHAT I WANT, EVEN IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO."

"REPORT!!" The leader who got his a** whooped by our heroes came in…

"WHAT IS IT???" The voice boomed not too happy.

"Uh…er…" The leader began…

"STOP MUMBLING AND TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON?? WHERE ARE THE OTHERS?" it replied.

"I…er…I got defeated…" the leader replied ashamed.

"WHAT???" the voice bellowed. "YOU HAD OVER TWO TO ONE ODDS AND YOU STILL MANAGE TO FAIL??"

"I fell for Chaos' trick…" The leader whined trying to explain his failure.

"CHAOS!?!?!" It seem to make the boss even angrier instead of claming him down.

The leader was about to prepare for the worse…but…

"NEVERMIND…" The leader said, still booming but a little calmer than he was. "CHAOS CAN BE VERY TRICKY…BUT I KNOW A WAY…"

* * *

Back at the Li Mansion…

"Well…everyone has they're designated rooms…" Li began.

"Wait…" Void said happily.

"What is it Void?" Sakura asked narrowing her eyes.

"Since you and Li are our leaders, you guys should get the master room." Void explain excited.

"I don't think that's very fair…" Li trailed.

"NONSENSE!" Void exclaimed. "Who here agrees with me?"

Everyone except Sakura and Li were mumbling with agreement.

"Oh alright." Li said "Everyone else may choose they're own rooms. Except for the master bedroom every room is the same size."

Li and Sakura began to move they're things inside both with a nice dark shade of red. Void giggled at the sight, "Young love is so cute." She thought to herself. Then she looked at Chaos who was teleporting his stuff inside the room that Void and him choose. "Speaking of which…"

Chaos was thinking how he could fit all his stuff in his corner. He didn't have much stuff, but most of his magical artifacts were very fragile.

"You know, you don't really have to be so uptight all the time. Not like I don't mind sharing some of 'my' room." Void said to him.

Chaos didn't respond instead he just kept on what he was doing.

That did it. "CHAOS!!" Void yelled. "YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT!!" she yelled, then went out crying.

Chaos stood there dumbfounded. "Now I've done it…" he thought to himself.

Sakura was enjoying a nice little stroll on her roller blades…

"Ahhh!!" she thought to herself. "I haven't done this in such a long time…it so relaxing." She was really enjoying herself, until she saw a dragoness fly by crying. "Was that Void? If it was why would a cheerful dragoness be crying?" So, she decided to follow her.

That's exactly what she did, she quietly followed behind Void very carefully.

Void stopped at cliff, she looked at the sunset and sighed. She was still crying. "WHY!!" She yelled.

Sakura who was hiding behind a rock, began to weight the options…

"Who ever is out there can come out now! And if it's Chaos don't bother!" she yelled angrily.

Sakura sighed. "That was smart…" she thought to herself. "Void can sense auras DUH!" She reluctantly came out from her hiding.

"It's me Sakura." Sakura said quietly. "What's wrong Void?" she asked although she already knew part of the answer.

"Nothing's wrong!!" Void yelled frustrated. Then in a calmer voice "I'm sorry, master Sakura. I just want to be alone for now."

"I understand." Sakura replied, slowing rolling away.

"CHAOS…we need to talk!!" Sakura thought strongly. "Whether you like it or not!!"
